Tahun 1949 Dr Sherwood Lawrence yang juga seorang Imunologis, melakukan penelitian pada sel darah putih pasien yang pernah terkena TBC dan sembuh menggunakan Penicillin. Beliau ingin mengetahui adakah perbedaan pada sistem imun pasien yang sudah sembuh dari TBC dengan yang belum. Di dalam penelitiannya, beliau mendapakan pada sel darah putih, ada suatu zat berupa cairan yang belum pernah diketahui sebelumnya. Kemudian zat ini diextraksi dan disuntikkan kepada hewan percobaan yang sebelumnya telah dipapar kuman TBC. Dan percobaan membuktikan hewan tersebut sembuh dari TBC.
Kemudian zat ini juga disuntikkan kepada orang yang belum pernah terpapar kuman TBC, setelah itu beliau dipaparkan kuman tersebut, ternyata orang tersebut tidak terinfeksi oleh kuman TBC.
Dr Lawrence menemukan bahwa zat (faktor) ini ternyata mengandung sesuatu yang begitu misterius dan sangat berperan penting dalam sistem imun ,dan kekebalan itu bisa di pindahkan ( ditransfer) dari satu makhluk hidup kepada yang lain.
Kemudian beliau memberi nama zat itu sebagai TRANSFER FACTOR.

Who is Dr.Sherwood Lawrence
H. Sherwood Lawrence, 87, Immunology Pioneer

Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, a pioneering
immunologist who helped found the branch of biology that explores the
function of lymphocytes, a type of white cell in blood and lymph nodes,
died on Monday in Manhattan. He was 87.
His death was announced by officials of New York University, where he had taught and conducted research for more than 50 years.
Dr. Lawrence, who was known as Jerry, was also an expert in infectious diseases, and his research generated other advances in immunology. Dr. Lawrence conducted research on the way the body rejects transplanted organs and how various conditions can damage tissue.
Dr. Lawrence was best known for his discovery, in 1949, of a substance known as ''transfer factor,'' a product of T-lymphocytes, which play crucial roles in defending against a wide variety of infectious agents.

Dr. Lawrence was best known for his discovery, in 1949, of a substance known as ''transfer factor,'' a product of T-lymphocytes, which play crucial roles in defending against a wide variety of infectious agents.
Transfer factor is a small molecule, and it has been the center of scientific mystery, in part because Dr. Lawrence and other scientists were unable to identify it precisely. Some scientists suspect that transfer factor represents bits of many molecules.
''Although there was significant controversy surrounding transfer factor, Jerry doggedly pursued the concept of immune reconstitution that has become a very important field of immunology,'' said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Dr. Lawrence predicted many aspects of the functioning of lymphocytes and immune cells, and his work provided clues to the later discovery of immune substances known as cytokines.
Dr. Lawrence also identified a link between the way cells respond immunologically to microbes like the bacterium that causes tuberculosis and the type of immune responses involved in the rejection of transplanted organs, said Dr. Fred T. Valentine, an immunologist who worked with Dr. Lawrence at N.Y.U.
Henry Sherwood Lawrence was born in Astoria, Queens. He graduated from New York University in 1938 and its medical school in 1943.
After a year's internship, Dr. Lawrence served in the Navy in World War II as a medical officer aboard a number of ships. He participated in the Normandy invasion at Omaha Beach and in the invasions of southern France and Okinawa, Japan, and received Bronze Stars in each.
After the war, he completed his training as a specialist in internal medicine at New York University and joined its medical faculty in 1949.
In 1959, he became head of infectious diseases and immunology, a position he held until his retirement in 2000. He was co-director of medical services at Bellevue and New York University Hospitals from 1964 to 2000.
Dr. Lawrence was also director of N.Y.U.'s cancer center from 1974 to 1979, and director of its AIDS research center from 1989 to 1994.
Dr. Lawrence was the founding editor of the journal Cellular Immunology and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Lawrence is survived by his wife, the former Dorothea Wetherbee; a daughter, Dorothea Lawrence Browne of New York City; two sons, Dr. Victor John of Greenwich, Conn., and Geoffrey Douglas of Lawrenceville, N.J.; and four grandchildren.

Selanjutnya pada tahun 1949 Efrain Diaz - Jouanen dan Ralf C. Williams Jr. menemukan bahwa TRANSFER FACTOR juga ditemukan dalam Susu Awal Ibu ( kolostrum susu Ibu).
Dr. Wilson dan Dr. Paddock pada tahun 1989 juga menemukan bahwa TRANSFER FACTOR juga ditemukan di dalam susu awal sapi (Bovine Colostrum), serta pada Kuning Telur segar.
Pada Tahun 1998, Davied Lisonbee mengambil hak paten TRANSFER FACTOR dan melakukan serangkaian penelitian ilmiah bersama rekan-rekannya untuk membawa TRANSFER FACTOR ini ke tengah-tengah kita dalam bentuk supplemen luar biasa yang dijuluki sebagai "Miracle Molecule".
Telah dilakukan sebanyak 3.500 penelitian mengenai TRANSFER FACTOR, uji klinis dan pembuktian terhadap efeknya bagi manusia di 60 negara di dunia sejak tahun 1949 hingga kini. Semua terangkum dalam jurnal-jurnal penelitian yang dibukukan.
Kini TRANSFER FACTOR SUDAH MENDAPATKAN PENGAKUAN DAN PRESTASI DI DUNIA, BAHKAN SAAT INI TRANSFER FACTOR SUDAH RESMI DIAKUI DAN DIGUNAKAN DI SELURUH RUMAH SAKIT DI NEGARA RUSIA.
TRANSFER FACTOR JUGA TELAH RESMI TERMASUK DI DALAM DAFTAR PDR (BUKU RUJUKAN DOKTER) DI USA.
TRANSFER FACTOR MEMEGANG SERTIFIKASI HALAL INTERNASIONAL DARI IFANCA.
BERSERTIFIKAT ANTI DOPPING, dan telah terbukti aman bagi semua usia, tidak ada toksisitas, tidak ada over dosis, dan tidak ada ketergantungan.
NAMUN PERLU DIPERHATIKAN: TRANSFER FACTOR tidak boleh dikonsumsi oleh mereka yang pernah menerima Transplantasi Organ!
